Vorpal

[Arkturas]

If you were to take the vorpal enchant, and turn it from the the beheading ability on a nat twenty, to a increase of the weapons crit multiplier by one, what would you say the enchant should be? +5 still, or something lower?

Well typically beheading ends a fight, period. And bumping up from a x2 to a x3 crit would not. Sure, exceptions to beheading ending a fight. But yeah, probably would be worth less. Maybe a +3 worth.

...I'd say +2, personally. Does it still only function on a 20?

This makes me think, what if vorpal functioned as normal, but also allowed critical hits to function on beings that are normally immune (but not insta-killing them)? Worthy of a +5? Because that would be pretty sweet.

This is just me, but I've house ruled that in addition to the beheading ability on a natural 20, a Vorpal weapon also functions as a keen weapon and increases the crit multiplier by 1.

This right here, this is the good stuff.

From what you say though, you are just increasing the crit multiplier by 1? I would make that a +2 probably, but if you are keeping the beheading, then probably not lol

I might actually use that, though it's hard to say if it should be +2 or +3. +2 feels too strong, but +3 too expensive.

The easy solution is +2, but it only increases on a nat 20. Or, make it a flat bonus to the multiplier and price it at +3 but give a +4 bonus to confirm the critical.
